It really was a great 3 weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe. Thanks to everyone who attended the show and a welcome to everyone who learned about the project from the showings up there. There will be a major upgrade to the website in about a month or so–so be sure to follow us. And this site will return to posting at least a few times a week
the Edinburgh plaque, finally installed. by looking at the castle, you can see basically where the plaque is: just up those steps at the west end of the Grassmarket, headed south towards Lauriston place:
The plaque is officially installed in linear Basel, Switzerland:
it honors the pace where Nobunaga-ventreven and Mlates were separated by Kmpass, the Urgend God of Directionality.
Just three performances left of Discover Kymaerica left at the Edinburgh Fringe this Summer. Today, Saturday and SundayIt is at Sweet Upstairs, a performance space at the Edinburgh College of Art, at 2 PM. Venue 186 in your Fringe Guide.
In Basel, Switzerland, our third bilingual (and first English/Swiss German) plaque has just been installed, honoring the history changing crossing of what we would call the Rhine river by Nobunaga-Ventreven and Mlates gi Dunhuira.Pictures to follow

The Edinburgh Run wraps up this weekend, so if you are in that wonderful city, you have just 4 more days to see it all for yourself.
The show is at the Edinburgh College of Art, at Venue 186 (Sweet ECA) in the room called Sweet Upstairs at 2 PM.
After all the adventures and time and struggle, the plaque is finally in. it was VERY cold and wet (well, I know it could have been colder but it was pretty darn wet!).
We back up down the cobblestones and then swung the 1 ton base of concrete into the hole.
We have had one review so far of the Discover Kymaerica show. The Scotsman called it “a work of impressive invention”–which is odd, because I am just a reporter. Nevertheless, we are grateful for the coverage!
Someone tried to nick the plaque before the cement was even dry and then tried to put it back–so enthusiastic were they that they tried to drive the bolts through by then hardened concrete. Alas, with no good effect:
Honoring the meeting of Nobunaga-Ventreven and Mlates gi Dunhuira has proved a bit more of an adventure than expected. And it has kept me even less up to date than I should be.But as we installed the plaque telling the many times told tale of Nobunaga Ventreven and Mlates, we had a bucolic feeling.People told us their own love stories:
As we installed:
In a beautiful setting:
and so I was feeling pretty bucolic, lulled by the generosity that I know to be Edinburgh (and still do). Then Kmpass, the Urgend God of Directionality, made himself felt . . .
